BEGIN HERE TODAY JUDITH CAMERON, typist in New York Dubltihtne house, marries her employer. ARTHUR KNIGHT. Knight U a widower with daughter TONY, IS In Paris, and a son, JUNIOR. 16. at school. A honeymoon in Bermuda is Interrupted by a cablegram that Tony is on her way to America. The girl ignores her stepmother. Later she tells Judith ehe must leave the house. Knight overhears and compels Tony to apologize. ANDY CRAIG. a young man Knight has helped through college, calls on Tony. Craig is to be employed In the legal department of the publishing house. One evening when Tony refuses to accompany him to a dog show Judith goes Tony surprises Judith by asking her to lun-'.h in town with her next day. Judith teeps the appointment and Is met by Andv Craig, who explains Tony asked him. too. to meet her. The two arc together when Toriv arrives half an hour late with her father. She is artful enough to make Judith's and Craig's protests sound incriminating. Knight tells Judith they are to entertain a group of his business associates next week at a theater party. Judith buys a beautiful gown for the occaston. Arthur sees her in it and praises her beauty. Tonv overhears ana next day Judith finds the dress riddled to bits. The frock is duplicated and the theater party prove* a success. When Judith and Arthur reach home after 3 a. m. a call comes that Tony and an escort are held In a New York police station charged with reckless driving. Knight brings his daughter home and Tony pours out her wrath upon Judith. The girl is sullen and rebellious for two days. She and her father quarrel. Affairs reach such a state that Judith K appeals to Andy Craig. Knight sees the ir together but later Judith denies to r husband that she spent the afternoon In town. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX (Continued.) IN the morning Judith’s fears were all forgotten. She and Arthur breakfasted together. He seemed, if anything, a little more affectionate than usual as he kissed her goodby and departed for the day. She hummed a half-remembered tune happily as she went about the morning's routine. Great things were expected to take place this day. Andy Craig had promised to use his influence to bring Tony to reason and Judith relied implictly upon Andy. As she had for the past three days, Tony Knight took her breakfast and luncheon in her own room. Harriet carried the tray of covered dishes and dainty china up the stairway and they came down empty. “Miss Tony seems to be feeling better today, ma’am.” the maid said. “Yes. I think she'll be much better soon.” Judith said. Even without Andy s connivance Judith was sure that Arthur Knight’s rebellious young daughter would be tiring soon of her selfimposed seclusion and would seek companionship. Three days without her usual diversions must have been very ” *ry trying to Tony. At noo.. mere came a telephone message for Judith. “Hello," she answered eagerly. “This is Mrs. Knight." “Judith? It’s Andy. Well—l* can't report much luck.” “What’s happened?” “Why. I telephoned half an hour ago. Tried to get Tony to promise to go somewhere with me tonight. Her answer wasn't exactly complimentary.” “But you know—” “Yes. I know! Anyhow I told her Id be around this evening about 8 o'clock and expected her to change her mind.” “She will. Andy.” “Yes. Guess you mean maybe she will. Anyhow I’ll drop in for a little while this evening.” “I'm sure she'll see you.” Judith told him. “Thanks a lot for calling. too " “Oh. don't mention it! How’s the housekeeping?" “Fine!” the girl laughed. "Goodby. Andy." “Goodby.” Without any real reason to explain the fact, Judith felt cheered. The world was brighter—yes. seven times brighter!—when at 4 o'clock Arthur Knight arrived home. m * a JUDITH, finding the big house quiet and lonely, had curled up on a leather footstool before the living room fireplace. Her back was toward the hallway entrance of the room. Sandy, who had become almost a constant companion, sat before her. his shaggy little head resting In her lap eyes lifted anxiously to the girl’s. Judith stroked the dog's head, thcughlessly. She did not hear her

husband enter the room, and his voice startled her. “Hello !'* “Oh—why, Arthur! You're early!” Sandy was ignominiously disregarded. Judith sprang to her feet and met Knight in the middle of the room. He was smiling and holding toward her a large round ivory box tied with violet ribbons. “Yes, I ducked out a little ahead of schedule this afternoon. Here, thought you might like some posies.” “Oh, Arthur!” Flowers for her. Flowers from her husband! Sandy, the dog, came nosing up to his mistress, doubtless wondering what in the world made her so excited and her cheeks pink, and why her eyes were suddenly so glamorous and starry since this man had come. The violet ribbons dropped from the box. The lid came off and Judith lifted away the folds of tissue paper. From their sheltered depths she drew a corsage of violets. “Arthur, they’re beautiful. Oh, it was dear of you to bring them!” “Like them, do you?” “I love them. Arthur, they’re just like—do you remember that other bouquet?” He nodded. Then suddenly, still holding her bouquet of fragrant blossoms, Judith Knight sought refuge in her husband’s arms, and hid her head on his tweed shoulder. “But darling, you mustn’t! Why —why—!” The girl raised her head. Tears still lingered in her eyes, but she was smiling and she dabbled at the dewy lashes with a handkerchief. “It's Just —just because I’m happy, Arthur!” , Knight’s arms went around her again, tender, but also strong and comforting. Then he kissed her and Judith laughed uncertainly and admitted she was acting like a silly child and went to put the violets in water to keep them fresh. a a a WHEN she returned she found Arthur Knight standing with back toward her, gazing out one of the large windows. She went up to him and put both hands on his shoulders. Knight turned. “Judith,” he said, “I’m afraid we haven’t given you very much pleasure in this house.” “Please don't say that!” “No." he continued, shaking his! head, “we might as well face the truth. Tm beginning to feel old, Judith. Never realized it before. Old!” “You're not old. Arthur. I won’t have you saying such things. It isn’t true!” “Yes,” he persisted. “It’s true, all right. . . Judith”—he paused watching her intently—“are you sorry?” “Sorry?” “Are you sorry you married me?” “Wliv, of course not: What makes you talk like that? You’ve done everything to make me happy, Arthur. “Sometimes when I suddenly think how much I have to thank you for. how much you've done for me, I feel I'm not half grateful enough.” He moved impatiently. “But I don't want you to be grateful.” She laughed at him. “All right then, Mr. Knight. I’m not grateful.” He refused to be cajoled out of his mood. "There's one thing I want you to promise me.” he went on. eyeing her seriously. “You've got to promise. Judith.” “What is it?” “I want you to promise that if there's ever—any one else—a younger man—you care about, you’ll tell me.” The girl's face had paled. For an instant she hesitated. Then—“l promise.” she said solemnly. "I promise, but there'll never be any one else!” The pause that followed seemed awkward. Sandy ended It. Evidently the dog concluded he had been ignored by these two persons quite long enough. He had Jumped upon a chair beside Judith and now began to whimper piteously. “Look. Arthur,” the girl said, smiling through misted eyes, “your rival is jealous!”

—By Williams

She petted the dog’s head and Sandy’s wails subsided. “Like the little beggar, don’t you?” Knight asked, amused as he watched them. “Sandy’s a real friend.” Amiability and peace had descended upon the household. It remained for several hours. Arthur Knight chatted of the office and affairs in the city until it was time to dress. Judith reviewed her day, not neglecting to add that Tony had eaten heartily and apeared to be in improved spirits. Very happily that evening Judith Knight dressed for dinner. She selected a printed chiffon of blue and lavender with bits of velvet ribbon as trimming. When the violets were pinned to her bodice their rich purple blended beautifully with the gown. She wore blue pumps the shade of the ribbon, and a crystal necklace. When she surveyed herself in the mirror the costume was as it should be, but the radiance of her face was even more striking. She wanted to appear lovely this evening. Judith touched Arthur Knight’s flowers with tender fingers. All through dinner the air of reconciliation and harmony prevailed. The dinner was a good one. Arthur Knight did it justice. It was shortly after 8 o’clock when Knight and his attractive young wife were seated in the living room that Harriet appeared, announcing a visitor. “Mr. Craig, ma’am,” she said. CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN WITH obvious eagerness Judith hurried to greet the visitor. “Andy—how nice of you to come!” The tall young man in the doorway smiled broadly. His coppery hair seemed brighter in contrast with his sober dark blue suit. Andy’s face was ruddy, too, because the night outside was cold. Breasting the wind had put him in fine mettle. Andy Craig came into the room bringing with him an air of out-of-doors and youthful energy. “Good evening. Good evening, Mr. Knight!” “Glad to see you, Andy,” said Arthur Knight. “Take this chair here by the fire.” Andy Craig's six feet of bone and sinuous muscle stood and adjusted itself to the low, overstuffed seat. “I just dropped in," he said, “to see if Tony felt like running into town to see a play or something of the sort. Telephoned this morning and she said I might call ” “Oh,” said Knight rather abruptly, “you wanted to see Tony? Sorry. She isn’t feeling well.” “You don’t think she’d care to go out?” Craig turned toward Arthur Knight. “Listen, Arthur.” interrupted Judith before either man had time to speak further. “Why don’t you go upstairs and see if you can’t persuade Tony to come down? I think it would do her good to get out. It’ll be much better for you to talk to her than to send Harriet!” (To Be Continued)

The girl leveled a heavy rifle at the Russian’s breast—his own gun, that she had taken from his tent that fateful night she made her escape. Quickly, at sight of it, Rokoff dropped the rope, the dugout floated beyond his grasp, soon disappearing from his sight around a bend in the river. Then he turned and ran upstream to the place he first had landed, when his party sought the fleeing girl.

Meanwhile Tarzan, following the trail of the Russian, came suddenly upon his Beasts moving slowly along. They appeared glad to see him again, and Mugambi could scarce believe that the mate of his savage master had passed so close to them without being detected by some of the marvelously keen and alert animals. Again with the pack following, the ape-man pressed rapidly on.

With a little thrill of expectation he now leaped ahead of the pack, swung swiftly through the trees and soon came out upon the river bank at the very point at which Rokoff had overhauled Jane as she endeavored to launch the dugout. In the mud Tarzan saw the footprints of the two he sought. It was plain as day to him that a boat had left this short recently. But nowhere, was there sight of boat or humans.

Then, as the ape-man’s keen eye ran swiftly down the course of the river, he saw in the far distance, just as it rounded a bend that had *hut It from h's view, a drifting dugout. A half hour’s rapid traveling by a short cut brought Tarzan to the inward bend of the river. Here he now saw that object was Rokoff—alone, and paddling rapidly. Where was Janet
